Application filed August 9, 1911. Serial No. 643,148.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY A. KAEBER, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania,have invented a new and useful Necktie-Holder, of which the following isa specification.

My invention consists of a necktie holder in which a number of necktiesmay be suspended.

It further consists of such a holder in which each tie is suspendedbetween a pair of spring-levers.

Itfurther consists of improved means for It further consists of othernovel features of construction, all as will be hereinafter fully setforth.

For the purpose of illustrating my invention, I have shown in theaccompanying drawings one form thereof which is at present preferred byme, since the same has been found in practice to give satisfactory andreliable results, although it is to be understood that the variousinstrumentalities of which my. invention consists can be variouslyarranged and organized and that my invention is not limited to theprecise arrangement and organization of these instrumentalities asherein shown and described.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my improved necktie holder.-Fig. 2 represents a longitudinal section of the same on the line m-'a:in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents a transverse section on the line y-y inFig. 2. I

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in thefigures.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral- 1 indicates a base or framestamped or other wise formed from sheetmetal to have flanges, 2, at itsedges and perforated ears, 3, at its ends. The frame has parallel pairshorizontally outward, and pairs of flat levers, '5, having diverginglycurved ends, 6,

have trunnions, 7, formed upon their edges,

nails through the perforated ears onto a wall or other surface, and theties slipped through between the spring levers, by which the ties willthus be suspended and displayed.

The construction of the device is simple and inexpensive, and thespringelevers will be guided in their movements by'the rod, which willalso bear a part of the weight of the ties, thus relieving thetrunnions,

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a necktie holder, a base or frame formed with a plurality of pairsof parallel lips, a pair of clamping levers pivoted between said lipsand having openings in their innerarms, a rod secured in the frame andpassing through saidopenings, and a spring coiled around said rodbetween the arms of ea'chpair of levers.

2. In a necktie holder, a base or frame having side and end flanges andhaving a plurality of parallel lips struck out and rectangularly bentfrom its body, pairs of flat levers having trunnions upon their edgespivoted in holes in said lips and having openlngs in their inner arms, arod secured in the end-flanges and passing through said openings, andsprings coiled around said rod and interposed between the inner arms ofthe levers.
